All the wiring from the igniter to the coil is wrapped up good in the wiring harness, but I just now ohmed it out for S&G and both wires to both coils read continuity, so it's likely not that.

I just hate forking out $550 or so for a new igniter unless I'm absolutely positively 100% sure it's going to fix it. Because as you all know, just about every motorcycle dealer doesn't take returns on electrical parts.

Anybody up north who's bike is still in winter hibernation want to send me their igniter so I can make sure that's the problem? I'd pay postage both ways plus $25 for your trouble.
